"Unlike the movie studio, which can announce a Captain Marvel movie will be out in 2019, the television studio will always be beholden to our networks, and so if our networks want another season of Iron Fist, we’re ready to go," explained Loeb in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. "We’re just waiting for the answer. The show’s been out of a week."

This confirms earlier comments by Loeb during a Reddit AMA this past June with the television exec revealing that Netflix had the final say on the future of all its original Marvel programming. Loeb also acknowledged that the decision for Season 3 of Daredevil to premiere so relatively soon after the second season of Iron Fist was also a choice made by Netflix.
